Dieffenbachia is a real find for decorating your home and garden. But like any other plant, dieffenbachia can get sick. Fortunately, the plant itself signals the grower about what he lacks.
Instructions
Step 1
If the base of the stem is soft and discolored, the stem will rot. This comes from waterlogging and low temperatures. At an early stage of the disease, you need to cut off the affected roots, treat the sections with charcoal and transplant Dieffenbachia into fresh soil. If the plant is severely affected, then only the top should be cut and rooted.
Step 2
Low temperatures and drafts lead to yellowing and curling of the lower leaves. It is not deadly, but it is still worth protecting dieffenbachia from the cold.
Step 3
Loss of color means that the plant is under the influence of too bright light. It is necessary to rearrange the plant in a less illuminated place.
Step 4
A number of reasons can contribute to the death of leaves: low temperatures, drafts, or too dry air. At the same time, it is worth considering that old leaves will die off in any case.
Step 5
The brown edges of the leaves appear from the drying out of the soil. Dieffenbachia's soil should always be moist.
